COMEDI_GET_CMD_GENER(3) Comedi reference COMEDI_GET_CMD_GENER(3)
NAME
comedi_get_cmd_generic_timed - streaming input/output capabilities
SYNOPSIS
#include <comedilib.h>
int comedi_get_cmd_generic_timed(comedi_t * device, unsigned int subdevice, comedi_cmd * command, unsigned int chanlist_len,
unsigned int scan_period_ns);
DESCRIPTION
The command capabilities of the subdevice indicated by the parameters device and subdevice are probed, and the results placed in the
command structure pointed to by the parameter command. The command structure pointed to by command is modified to be a valid command that
can be used as a parameter to comedi_command (after the command has additionally been assigned a valid chanlist array). The command
measures scans consisting of chanlist_len channels at a scan rate that corresponds to a period of scan_period_ns nanoseconds. The rate is
adjusted to a rate that the device can handle.
RETURN VALUE
If successful, 0 is returned, otherwise -1.
